Why does your mouth feel like it's on fire
when you eat a spicy pepper?
And how do you soothe the burn?
Why does wasabi make your eyes water?
And how spicy is the spiciest spice?
Let's back up a bit.
First, what is spiciness?

it's not actually a taste,
like sweet or salty or sour.
Instead, what's really happening
is that certain compounds in spicy foods
activate the type of sensory neurons
called polymodal nociceptors.
You have these all over your body,
including your mouth and nose,

that are activated by extreme heat.

because your brain actually thinks it's burning.
